... Curt Schilling tells us in his blog, 38 Pitches, about his command issues in the loss to the Royals on Monday.

Please note: Don't panic, Sox fans

... . Happy now , Dan and Kim? Update: As we probably can expect after most of his starts this season, Schilling has posted his thoughts on the game on his blog , 38 Pitches. You have to give the man credit. He owned up to the whole mess: Inconsistent command and horrific execution cost us the game. When you are facing a guy like Gil certain things can make it easier or harder. He'll walk some guys if you give your offense a chance. His stuff is so good that when offenses have to press against him, or their down and need to make something happen, he can eat you up. After the first he settled into a nice groove and executed. He pitched a hell of a game and hats off to the KC fans, this towns always been a great baseball city with great sports fans, pretty sure the day and the standing O will be lifetime memories, just always hope you aren't the guy on the other side when someone has one of those kinds of days. I never let us get

... ball more? Isn't he their best player? And a dominant post presence? Why didn't they try to work the ball through him on every possession, let the defense collapse on him, open up the shooters and foul out Flordia's big men earlier? Am I missing something here? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here! I don't even like Ohio State and it was bugging the hell out of me. Seriously though. I didn't chart the game, but I was watching for this closely after I pointed this out in the first half, and I'm pretty sure that for the entire second half, on every single possession Oden received the ball in the post, Ohio State scored. It's just inconceivable to me that someone could be paid millions of dollars to coach a basketball team, recruit arguably the most dominant post presence in college hoops this season and then design an offense around dribbling around the perimeter and then jacking up a three. But that's just me. Anyway, this other thing happened yesterday too. So on with it:

No Command
Published 4/3/2007 by StatsGuru at Baseball Musings
... Curt Schilling gives the low down on his lack of command yesterday at 38 Pitches. He basically wasn't able to adjust during the game: Anytime I get to a 3-2 count I am bothered, but getting behind and into deep counts on primarily fastballs is a bad sign. You have to have the ability to make adjustments off mistakes, something I've always felt I do, and today I am not sure I did it more than once.

Well alrighty then

I don't know about you, but I can hear the squeals of delight coming right off the page. The Curly Haired One - oops! gave it away -- also wrote: "A few years ago, our print brethren over at Herald Square bannered a 'Wait 'Til Next Year' headline after an opener like this." ... A few years ago? It was actually 31 years ago -- 1976. (I guess the CHB isn't so good at that new-age math stuff.) Then he twists himself into knots, admitting that "one game in April means nothing in the scheme of a season" but it was still "somewhat shocking to see" the mighty Red Sox drop one game to the lowly Royals. (Because in baseball, the better teams win every single time.) G38 himself did not have much good to

Walking Home
Published 4/4/2007 by John Walsh at The Hardball Times
... Walking Home by John Walsh April 04, 2007 Many of you probably know that Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling has started writing his own blog. It offers some fascinating insight on pitching, for example, this is from yesterday's recap of his opening day start in Kansas City: I then throw Pena 5 FBs, and walk him on a 3-1 count. None of the pitches are anywhere near where I am trying to throw them and I'm wrestling with that while trying to dismiss it, and get the next guy. This is good stuff. Another quote by Schilling caught my eye: A lengthy AB from Shealy, saw me go to the split 3-2 which he took for ball 4 to walk in a run. I can't remember if I've ever done that? Whenever I see something like this, I immediately think "Retrosheet! I can answer that." So, I went to the

... . It actually makes for a pretty good read now and then. For example, after his most recent pummeling by Kansas City, he posted a very interesting recap of what it was like to struggle like that on the mound. It's really cool to get a glimpse into the thought processes of a major league pitcher: Grud worked the count to 3-1, laying off the first change at 1-1, and a FB down and away ended up middle in for a hard single to left. Had Teahan down quick and left a split up for another single 1-2 (I think). First pitch slider to Sweeney didn’t slide, bad miss. Next slider was better and he stayed on it and hit it hard to right to load the bases. Gordon worked a 7 p
